STAGES Theatre Circle INSIGHTS Special Edition - Fall 2014 Indiana University Department of Theatre, Drama, + Contemporary Dance STAGES Theatre Circle INSIGHTS Special Edition - Fall 2014 Indiana University Department of Theatre, Drama, + Contemporary Dance IU Theatre’s Journey to the Prague Quadrennial of Performance, Design, and Space n 2010 faculty Technical Director Paul Brunner was selected Ito be part of the United States entry in the 2015 Prague Qua- drennial. As a member of the design team, Paul has been attend- ing weekly webinar meetings with team colleagues in New York, London, Houston, and L.A. to discuss the design and fabrication details. Eight IU students applied to take part in the project and volunteered five weeks of their summer to fabricate two exhibits at IU’s Scenic Studio: the national exhibit that represents U.S. design- ers, and the student exhibit which highlights schools of theatre. Tese students will travel to Prague next summer to install the exhibits and serve as hosts to thousands of attendees from around the world. Te opportunity for these theatre students to attend the Prague Quadrennial, to be exposed to the very best in design and live performance from around the world, and to spend almost three weeks in Prague is a rich and life-changing experience. Of the eight students, four are funded by the project’s major sponsor, the United States Institute for Teatre Technology (USITT.org), and four by a gracious local donor. It is not easy to put the Quadrennial into context.

Upon completion of the trial setup, the exhibit will be entirely disassembled and placed in storage until March when it will be loaded into a shipping container for the long journey to Prague. In June, Paul, Tomas Quintas (production manager), and the student team will travel to Prague to reassemble the exhibits. IU graduate students who have been selected for this project include: Aaron Bowersox, Bridgette Dreher, Carrie Barton, Sandy Everett, Katie Gruenhagen, Kristen Martino, Kelsey Nichols, and Brad Shaw. While in Prague, the students will collaborate with theatre artisans from many different countries and discover centu- ries-worth of architecture, complex political history, museums of art and sculpture, rich culinary arts, and the finest examples of theatre design and performance from around the world.

  • Curran San Francisco Announces Cast for the Bay Area Premiere of Soft Power a Play with a Musical by David Henry Hwang and Jeanine Tesori
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Curran Press Contact: Julie Richter, Charles Zukow Associates [email protected] | 415.296.0677 CURRAN SAN FRANCISCO ANNOUNCES CAST FOR THE BAY AREA PREMIERE OF SOFT POWER A PLAY WITH A MUSICAL BY DAVID HENRY HWANG AND JEANINE TESORI JUNE 20 – JULY 10, 2018 SAN FRANCISCO (March 6, 2018) – Today, Curran announced the cast of SOFT POWER, a play with a musical by David Henry Hwang (play and lyrics) and Jeanine Tesori (music and additional lyrics). SOFT POWER will make its Bay Area premiere at San Francisco’s Curran theater (445 Geary Street), June 20 – July 8, 2018. Produced by Center Theatre Group, SOFT POWER comes to Curran after its world premiere at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles from May 3 through June 10, 2018. Tickets for SOFT POWER are currently only available to #CURRAN2018 subscribers. Single tickets will be announced at a later date. With SOFT POWER, a contemporary comedy explodes into a musical fantasia in the first collaboration between two of America’s great theatre artists: Tony Award winners David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly, Flower Drum Song) and Jeanine Tesori (Fun Home). Directed by Leigh Silverman (Violet) and choreographed by Sam Pinkleton (Natasha, Pierre, & the Great Comet of 1812), SOFT POWER rewinds our recent political history and plays it back, a century later, through the Chinese lens of a future, beloved East-meets-West musical. In the musical, a Chinese executive who is visiting America finds himself falling in love with a good-hearted U.S. leader as the power balance between their two countries shifts following the 2016 election.

  • CHINATOWN AFTER SEPTEMBER 11TH: an Economic Impact Study
    CHINATOWN AFTER SEPTEMBER 11TH: An Economic Impact Study An Interim Report Asian American Federation of New York April 4, 2002 In Collaboration With: Federal Reserve Bank of New York Fiscal Policy Institute Ralph and Goldy Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies, University of California, Los Angeles The views expressed in this report are those of the Asian American Federation and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or the Federal Reserve System, the Fiscal Policy Institute, or the Ralph and Goldy Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies, UCLA. CHINATOWN After September 11th FOREWORD Nearly seven months after September 11th, New Yorkers of all backgrounds continue to feel the pains of the unfortunate loss of life while we work hard to heal our wounds and rebuild our city. The impact of September 11th has certainly been pervasive beyond words, as has been the outpouring of heroism and philanthropy demonstrated by so many ordinary people, uniformed as well as civilian, during these trying times. All of us at the Asian American Federation pay our respects to those who have lost or given their lives, offer our best wishes to those families who have endured the tragedy, and salute the fine spirit of New York. The lingering aftermath of September 11th is deeply felt in neighborhoods close to Ground Zero, including Chinatown. During the first three months after September 11th, stories abounded about the desperation of many low-wage workers who became unemployed and the resolution of many small business owners who worried about their firms’ prospects.

This week we've got me Cliff Chamberlain— James Vincent Meredith: James Vincent Meredith— Karen Rodriguez: Karen Rodriguez— Caroline Neff: And me, Caroline Neff. Cliff Chamberlain: And Caroline, this week we've got a conversation with you and our esteemed playwright, ensemble member, Rajiv Joseph. I don't think I've ever met Rajiv in the real world. I've talked him through email. I'm curious, have you ever met Rajiv before this conversation? Caroline Neff: I have. And, you know, I feel like his presence always feels a little bit like Brigadoon. It’s like—it's just sort of there, like, when you're least expecting it. So, I actually—I think the first time that I met him was… I don't remember if it was when I saw Guards at the Taj at the Atlantic, if I met him that night. But I'm trying to think if I've ever actually met him within the confines of the Steppenwolf complex.
